Snow covered or icy pathways are incredibly dangerous, they’re as concerning as roads coated in slush and the dreaded black ice. You will normally see grit trucks out the night before or early in the morning after ice or snow has formed on the roads but this tends to be only done on major roads leaving the majority of smaller lesser travelled roads untreated.
The Rock Salt used on roads is cheaper than the salt you would use at the dinner table but it also helps to melt ice at lower temperatures, meaning that even if the temperature dips below 0°C then the ice will melt away making roads and pathways safe to walk or drive on.
Rock Salt For Use On Roads
Getting Rock Salt dispensers or storage bins on your business’ property is a great measure to ensure that should snowy or icy conditions occur then you shall be ready to grit pathways, service roads and car parks on your property. The benefits of having your own rock salt gritting supply are clear as even by just gritting your business’ car park you can save a lot of cars from getting knocks and bumps caused by cars sliding into each other.
Why Buy Rock Salt?
For businesses it is vitally important to make any footpaths clear of ice and snow as a business can be held responsible if a worker or pedestrian slips and falls on your property. Gritted pathways can eradicate any patches of ice in a short space of time making them safe for public use.
There are many Rock Salt products for business available such as Grit storage bins and rock salt dispensers that spread salt on pathways or road surfaces.
